soon 4 months now and yesterday was the first time it really hit me how horrible the dairy- industry is.
I cried for hours.
Im a woman who wants to have children one day and I can't imagine how it would feel if if somebody stole my baby from me.

or eat any meat or cheese.
No eggs. No milk. No butter.
No marshmallows.
No, fish are not vegetables. Neither are chickens, frogs or crickets.
No, it isn't a weird diet, it is a lifestyle.
Society stares at me with such a strange expression. I find this annoying.

Since my van broke down, I've lived on the streets. I found a shelter, but I had to attend an interview before I could stay there. I knew beforehand that the shelter residents were expected to save 90% of their income, but one of the two people conducting the interview told me...

I really love meat. I love it with a passion. However, sometimes, we all have to peak into the world and find other alternatives. Society expects me to eat meat, so I'll eat veggies instead.
I'm not going to even touch on the fact that billions of animals are slaughtered every...

unless people ask. I know some people can be very strong about not eating animals. I keep to myself, but am always happy to share how my health has gotten better. I didn't realize red meant was giving me horrible stomach aches, and when I say that I mean excruciating. I am 5'8/5...

Seriously, what is up with these idiots? If you already took the time to give direct financial support to a product with cheese on it, then what does it matter if you eat it or not? The only reason not being vegan is a moral crime is because there is a negative moral property to...

vegetarian food is that its gross and nasty but its one of the biggest stereotypes in the world.
Sadly its told by people who are not lying, they think they are telling the truth (in their minds.) Sadly, it just so happens their ignorance is hurting them. What they been eating...

but every time I think I'm going to stop, for health reasons usually, I go back. I can eat eggs from pastured hens ok, but I tell myself I'm going to bring home a humanely raised chicken or something for dinner, and it never happens. I can't carnivore. I'm just happier as a...

decisions of my life. I have a better relationship with food. I've recovered from my eating disorder. I feel more comfortable with my body. My confidence is higher. I'm no longer anemic. I can eat as much as I want without having to worry about calories. I'm not so tired and...

I have discovered that there is so much more to being vegan than most people realize. When I first decided to live by my own values instead of those of the misguided masses, it was based on furthering my evolution as a spiritual being. Our species no longer is forced to exploit...

It is impossible to discuss the moral aspect of veganism with some people because they do not have a consistent moral position, and do not even realize that they do not have one. If you think it's ok to kill animals for food or clothing, just say so. That is a moral position. "I...

What brings me to be vegan is the value of life and freedom. The biggest holocaust ever experienced on earth just flies by everybody's faces while they gladly take part in it. Countless billions of innocent beings getting stocked, enslaved, tortured, fed terrible hormone-high...

for me to stop eating things like ice cream and chocolate? Anyone go/going through the same thing?
Like meat was super easy to drop
But the things where dairy is hidden under all that sugar and other stuff is hard to let go
I want to adjust to a raw vegan diet, that's my...

Vegan parents charged in death of baby raised on mother's milk; facing 30 years in prison

(NaturalNews) In the latest outrage of the global "vegan police" striking out against those who follow a healthy diet, a...

the past 5 years. Family and kids has been my dream which I no longer see coming true. I wanted a reason to live which should been a family I work for and support. I no longer need the sweetness of food. I just want to eat to remain alive. The lowest option available is to be...

DELICIOUS Meal that I made up on the fly and I'm Super D Duper Proud of myself. Like seriously enough to make this a post/story ;-) - I took pictures to show off my skills I hope they post it seems like sometimes my pictures don't post... Let me know if you can't see my picture...

a Vegan. I have not gone through the transitionface with being a vegetarian. I jumped right from "normal" to Vegan, which I don't have any struggles with (yet?), but there is so much to think about when going Vegan. Clothes, bedding, food, meds, furnitures and so on. It does...

I saw a girl with a "VEGAN" sweatshirt and hung up on the person I was talking to over the phone to introduce myself. We ended up talking for HOURS and there are so many ways and reasons people are Vegan, but we have such similar experiences- She even said to me "I think you...

Because I'm vegan for ethical and environmental reasons, but lately I've been lying and saying I'm vegan purely for environmental reasons.
Because now, the onslaught of verbal abuse from my family is way way less. I mean, the normal stuff is still there, but the abuse...

Also shrouded in myths. Many people use the excuse not to be vegan because they are afraid it will not have enough protein. I've argued with plenty of people who say "well if your vegan, then where do you get your protein from?" I have actually lost friends due to that same...

Every vegetarian or vegan i know ends up having to explain their reasons for being so to every dim-witted small-minded soul at almost every meal. For #%$@'s sake.
Shouldn't it be the other way around? Shouldn't non-vegans (like me) feel obligated to explain why we eat...

However, I'm an interloper of sorts. Whenever I go to meetups or cookouts it is like I'm crashing the party on the Animal Rights movement. I went vegan mainly for health reasons (family history of heart disease) and also because of the environment.
Sure I hate to see anything...

we don't need to slaughter and consume hormone packed animals crammed into cages with their own feces. free range and organic meats are still disgusting cloggers.
but really, when i read about it i just couldn't do it anymore.
it was an easy transition and i never felt a...

but I find it so hard because none of my family are even vegetarians.
They are really judgemental of what I eat and I know it's probably just because they care but I wish they would stop.
I have tried to meet them half way but I can't because the thought of consuming any animal...

im 46. ive been a vegetarian since i was in my teens, but i still ate cheese and ice cream. i have always wanted to go totally vegan and i finally did last week. now im learning about so many other things that you think are vegetarian and theyre not! i knew about gelatin, but i...

for three reasons:
1. I can't seem to stop eating eggs they're just so darn delicious but I feel bad after I eat them
2. It's hard to balance out all the supplements and vitamins my body needs without meat.
3. Where I live the soil is terrible year round so I can't grow...

for not using eggs in their products, they claim they have a right to sue Just Mayo because they claim their Mayo is false. What are we doing as a species guys? Sorry but this is only a fear of health foods and this is why I am precisely vegan. I know for a certain fact that...

It started out at me simply being annoyed at planning meals around meat. It turned into me looking more into veganism. I discovered the health, environmental and ethical benefits of such a way of eating. Not only these things, but it also lets me channel extremism and...

I've been vegan for over 2 years now. It started when I began to get very ill anytime I consumed dairy. I occurred to me at that time that this is really something I can do. I've always loved animals and wish people would no longer do them harm, I don't know why I never realised...

now befor that i was vegetarian for 15yrs. In some ways I am happier now than iwas but i have to say being vegan is not easy. I know very few other vegans and most people i know have very little interest in being vegan. I think the social isolation is the worse aspect of being...

since I have completely turned vegan. In childhood, I used to starve when red meat was prepared at home. Much later my sister introduced chicken which tasted a lot like cottage cheese and I liked it. In between for a few years on and off I turned off that as well.
Now I...

so I can eat.
I don't feed off other beings from what is described as the animal kingdom.
I pick from plants, fresh leaves, beans.
I drink lots of water, and I enjoy a glass of wine.
I am stronger in myself for my lifestyle.

that I would share my 100% vegan skincare and cosmetics with everyone!
I am a representative for Arbonne International and we are a 35 year old company derived in Switzerland.
We are botanically based, vegan, dermatologist tested, opthamologist tested, pH correct...
